Tidy Desktop Monster

Tidy Desktop Monster is a desktop daemon. It lies quietly in the system tray, waiting for a shortcut to appear on the desktop. When one appears, Tidy Desktop Monster comes to life to eat the shortcut and poop it into the Recycle Bin.

Getting Started

  1. Download the latest TidyDesktopMonster.zip
  2. Unzip it
  3. Move TidyDesktopMonster.exe to wherever you want it
  4. Double click TidyDesktopMonster.exe to start it

SmartScreen may flag the program because I'm too cheap to spend 28€ for a program I'm giving away for free:

If you click More info then Run Anyway the program should start.
